Disappear Fear, an American folk/power pop band, formed in Baltimore in 1987. The original band consisted of sisters Sonia Rutstein and Cindy Frank.

They released four albums, then in 1996, Cindy Rutstein ceased playing regularly with the band in order to become a mother but occasionally still performs with them. Sonia Rutstein started a solo career (as "SONiA"). In 2005, Sonia Rutstein re-formed the band, with Laura Cerulli on percussion and vocals, and Angela Edge on bass guitar and trumpet. Sonia Rutstein provided lead vocals, guitar, harmonica and piano. The band released its first album in its new incarnation in October 2005. Angela has since left the band.
